- 8 oz plant-based cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup heavy plant-based cream, room temperature

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Textural Ingredient
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for easier blending and to achieve the creamiest texture.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the plant-based cream cheese and heavy plant-based cream together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add Flavors and Sweetener: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract (natural) while continuing to whip. Then, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance the sweetness and add a subtle tang.
- Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and mix thoroughly to slightly firm up the dip, giving it a richer mouthfeel without heaviness.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dip, distributing them evenly without breaking their shape.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and texture to set. Serve chilled for best results.

- Fold in chocolate chips gently to keep them intact and maintain texture.
